EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS) is one of the four (4) public irrigation schemes in Ghana. It is a 3000 ha irrigation scheme owned and operated by the Government of Ghana through the Ghana Irrigation Development Authority (GIDA). The irrigation scheme is partly located in the Greater Accra and Eastern Regions near the towns of Asutsuare and Akuse, respectively in the Shai-Osudoku and Lower Manya Krobo Districts. It extends along the right bank of the Volta River from the Kpong Hydro-Electric Power Station in Akuse from where it also derives water via the Kpong reservoir to its confluence which is about 20 km downstream at Asutsuare and finally ends in Kasunya.
The irrigation scheme’s current cropping pattern is for double cropped rice; i.e. rice cultivated during each of the two seasons. However, vegetables are grown on “high ground” areas of the KIS canal system’s command areas – referenced as “out-of-command areas”.
The KIS aims at developing the necessary infrastructure to create opportunities and enhance the livelihoods in communities and further support the attainment of food security in Ghana. It also aims at increasing production and productivity of high-value cash and staple food crops to enhance the competitiveness of Ghana’s agricultural products in both regional and international markets.
As part of the Ghana Commercial Agriculture Project (GCAP) which is funded by the World Bank
and United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the KIS is selected among other irrigation schemes to be rehabilitated and modernized. Consequently, GCAP has contracted consultants to review and update feasibility studies and produce engineering designs for the works which will generally improve the existing gravity irrigation infrastructure as well as introduce instrumentation systems to automate the functionality of the irrigation scheme.
The environmental and social due diligence included the conduct of Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) which identified the potential adverse impacts associated with the Rehabilitation and Modernization of KIS. This Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is prepared to guide contractors, consultants, GCAP, GIDA and the Scheme
Management Entity (when the scheme is operational) towards effective environmental, social and occupational health and safety actions in the implementation of the proposed Rehabilitation and Modernization of the KIS. Both the ESIA and ESMP have been prepared as standalone reports and for better appreciation of project impacts and proposed mitigation and monitoring measures, it is advisable that both documents are read concurrently.
Objectives The objective/purpose of this ESMP is to provide effective mitigation and sustainable management measures to resolve the potential adverse environmental, social, health and safety impacts identified in the ESIA and also, to improve upon the positive impacts that come with the works.
Approach/methodology The approach and methodology adopted for the study included: desktop study, review of design reports and literature reviews;

Adverse Operation and Maintenance Phase impacts The potential adverse impacts related to the operational and maintenance phase of the proposed rehabilitation project include;
soil quality degradation; pollution of water sources air quality deterioration noise and vibration occupational accidents and risks to health and safety of workers generation and disposal of solid waste sanitation issues and public health;
public safety; risk of the spread of diseases. conflicts by over land and water use and plot allocation; fire risk; post-harvest losses; sustainability of the farming venture.
Mitigation measures with cost estimates have been proposed in Table 9 for the potential significant environmental and social impacts of the proposed project identified in the operational phase of the project. The cost of implementation of construction phase impacts largely depends on the bid price of the contractor as contained in their Bill of Quantities (BoQ).
This ESMP proposes mitigations which should adequately guide bidders/contractors to offer competitive prices for the management of environmental, social, health and safety impacts as identified in the ESIA. Environmental and Social Monitoring Plan Environmental and social monitoring is an essential component of a post project review phase following ESIA. The monitoring of various environmental and social parameters will also help
to confirm any predicted impact or otherwise and address the effectiveness of the implementation of the mitigation measures. The monitoring plans developed in this ESMP includes the responsible institutions or persons and estimated budget/cost for its implementation. The plan focuses, among others, on the following areas:
air quality monitoring; water quality monitoring; noise emissions; public complaints/grievances; environmental compliance. Capacity development and training Capacity building and training will be organized to guide the implementation of the ESMP, permit schedule, triggered World Bank safeguards policies and environmental management. The training on the ESMP implementations will include issues of public health and safety,
Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) for the project, ESMP monitoring and reporting. The cost of capacity building is estimated at GHC105,200. Details are provided in Chapter 7.
GCAP /MoFA
Final ESMP _Rehabilitation and Modernization of Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS). Page xii
May 2019
Grievance Redress Mechanism This ESMP proposes formation of a Dispute Settlement Committee (DSC) which will be responsible for receiving grievances that may be submitted directly through face-to-face communication, phone calls, letters, e-mail, text messages, etc. Grievances may also be sent to the EHSSO through the EHSRs, EHSOs and Security Coordinator. The EHSSO shall have a log book for keeping records of all grievances received. Any grievance received from the public shall be treated confidentially and resolved in a transparent and fair manner. The process of resolving grievances shall comprise the following tiers: 1. Dispute Settlement Committee (DSC); 2. Scheme Supervisor; 3. District Assembles; and
4. Court of Law. From the community sensitization and engagement carried out for the proposed project, many grievances are not anticipated to arise from the project implementation and any unforeseen grievances may be resolved at the second tier (Scheme Supervisor) in the worst case. Integration of ESMP with project The preparation of the ESMP for the project has been carried out in tandem with the project feasibility and design stages. The Environmental Consultant participated in project technical meetings where project designs and considerations, as well as associated environmental and social issues were identified and discussed. The project technical meetings involve GCAP, GIDA, the Design Consultant (BRL Inginierie), the Environmental Consultant and representatives from OACS. The stages of the ESIA and preparation of the ESMP and integration with the project are as follows:
inception phase and preliminary assessment scoping draft ESIA and ESMP final ESIA and ESMP
Conclusion GCAP acknowledges that the activities and operations of the KIS could potentially impact on
the environment, workers, customers and the public, and is very mindful of its obligations towards the protection of the environment and ensuring the health and safety of the farmers, customers and the communities within the project area. GCAP will continue to invest in ensuring a safe environment that will assure sustainable farming operations and will also continue to undertake its activities and operations in accordance with the laws of Ghana as well as international best practices governing development activities of this nature. The environmental, social, health and safety action plans outlined in this ESMP as well as emergency response plans will be implemented and monitored to ensure effective mitigation and management of the project impacts. The implementation of the ESMP may cost GCAP about GH¢973,850.00.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The World Bank and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) have provided funds for the implementation of the Ghana Commercial Agriculture Project (GCAP). The development objective of GCAP is to improve agricultural productivity and production of both smallholder and nucleus farms in selected project intervention areas with increased access to reliable water, land, finance, and agricultural input and output markets.
In line with the project implementation strategy, GCAP in collaboration with Ghana Irrigation Development Authority (GIDA) has selected four (4) public irrigation schemes in Ghana for rehabilitation and modernization. The Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS) is one of the selected
schemes. Its location traverses two regions: the Greater Accra and Eastern Regions, near the towns of Asutsuare and Akuse, respectively in the Shai-Osudoku and Lower Manya Krobo Districts. The KIS extends along the right bank of the Volta River from the Kpong Hydro-Electric Power Station in Akuse to its confluence which is about 20 km downstream at Asutsuare and finally ends in Kasunya.
As part of the feasibility studies for the proposed rehabilitation and modernization of the KIS, GCAP contracted SAL Consult Limited, an environmental & water consulting firm based in Accra, Ghana, to conduct an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA). The ESIA revealed the potential impacts associated with the proposed rehabilitation and modernization works as well as those likely to occur during the scheme’s operations.
This Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) is prepared as a complement to the ESIA and it is recommended that both reports are read concurrently for better appreciation of issues. The ESMP is organized as follows:
Chapter 1 discusses the background to the KIS project, the objective of the ESMP and the methodology used in developing the ESMP;
Chapter 2 presents the various national and international policies, legal and regulations as well as institutional frameworks that are applicable to the proposed rehabilitation works and their implications for the project;
In Chapter 3, the Environmental, Health and Safety Policies of KIS are presented and discussed;
Chapter 4 presents a description of the existing scheme and the scope of work for the rehabilitation and modernization of KIS. The Chapter also discusses the proposed construction schedules, the proposed scheme management structure, proposed agricultural management for the scheme including cropping patterns, and the potential positive and adverse impacts associated with the various phases of the rehabilitation and modernization works.
Chapter 5 presents the environmental and social management plan which contains mitigation measures proposed to resolve the identified potential impacts.
Chapter 6 presents the monitoring plan which includes the parameters to be measured, location of measurements, frequency, responsibility and estimated cost. The monitoring plan is
GCAP /MoFA

prepared to cover areas such as water quality, air quality, noise emissions, solid waste generations, grievances, compliance with statutory requirements e.g. certifications etc.
Chapter 7 presents the capacity building and training requirements for smooth implementation of the ESMP;
Chapter 8 presents the processes and procedures to be followed in addressing grievances that may arise in the course of the KIS rehabilitation and modernization works and also during the operational phase of the scheme;
Chapter 9 outlines the ESMP implementation strategy including institutional arrangements,
environmental, health, safety and security arrangement, performance monitoring requirements, ESMP implementation schedules and cost estimates; and
Chapter 10 presents how the ESMP preparation has been integrated in the KIS project designs and management commitment towards the implementation of the ESMP.
1.1 Background
The KIS is a 3000 ha irrigation scheme owned and operated by the Government of Ghana through GIDA. It derives water from the Volta River via the Kpong reservoir which is primarily a relatively low head hydroelectric generation facility. The irrigation scheme’s current cropping pattern is for double cropped rice; i.e. rice cultivated during each of the two seasons. However,
vegetables are grown on “high ground” areas of the KIS canal system’s command areas – referenced as “out-of-command areas”.
The KIS aims at developing the necessary infrastructure to create opportunities and enhance the livelihoods in communities and further support the attainment of food security in Ghana. It also aims at increasing production and productivity of high-value cash and staple food crops to enhance the competitiveness of Ghana’s agricultural products in both regional and
international markets.
The proposed Rehabilitation and Modernization of KIS will have many environmental, social, health and safety impacts at the local, district, regional and national levels. This ESMP is
therefore prepared to guide GCAP and the Scheme Management Entity (when in operation) towards effective environmental, social and occupational health and safety actions during the various phases of project implementation namely, pre-construction, construction and post construction.
1.2 Objectives/Purpose of the ESMP
The objective/purpose of this ESMP is to provide effective mitigation and sustainable management measures to resolve the potential adverse environmental, social, health and safety impacts identified in the ESIA and also, to improve upon the positive impacts that come with the works.

2.2 International Conventions
The following international conventions have been identified to be relevant to the proposed project and are provided in Table 2: . Table 2: Relevant International Conventions
International
Convention
Objectives Applicability/Relevance
United Nations
Convention on
Biological Diversity
The three goals of the CBD are to promote
the conservation of biodiversity, the
sustainable use of its components, and the
fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising
out of the utilization of genetic resources.
The convention calls for the adoption of
national strategies, plans and programmes
for the conservation and sustainable use of
biological diversity into their relevant
sectoral and cross‐sectional plans,
programmes and policies. One of the tools
that are prescribed for the management of
biodiversity is environmental assessment.
Article 14 of the convention deals with
impact assessment and minimization of
adverse impacts.
Ghana is a signatory to these
international conventions
which are also are relevant to
the proposed project. The
proposed project has
potential impacts on
biodiversity and will have to
implement appropriate
climate change adaptation
measures. Ghana, being a
signatory of these
conventions, will work
towards the achievement of
the respective goals of these
conventions.
The ESIA flora and fauna
survey did not identify
endangered species in the
project area. However, per
chance find or if any
endangered species is found
to be present, appropriate
mitigation measures have
been proposed in the ESIA for
their protection and
conservation.
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)
The objective of the Convention is to
conserve wildlife and prevent international
trade from threatening species with
extinction.
United Nations
Framework
Convention on
Climate Change
(UNFCCC)
The UNFCCC provides the basis for global
action to protect the climate system for
present and future generations.
The ultimate objective of this Convention
and any related legal instruments that the
Conference of the Parties may adopt is to
achieve, in accordance with the relevant
provisions of the Convention, stabilization of
greenhouse gas concentrations in the
atmosphere at a level that would prevent
dangerous anthropogenic interference with
the climate system. Such a level should be
achieved within a time frame sufficient to
allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to
climate change, to ensure that food
production is not threatened and to enable
economic development to proceed in a
sustainable manner.

Concrete may be sourced off site and the needed
quantities brought on site daily or it could be mixed on site based on the contractor’s recommendations. It is expected that about 372,515 m3 of materials will be required for construction of roads (subbase plus surface material (200 mm/150 mm)) and as compacted fill material for the canals. Additionally, about 28,983 m3 of concrete will be required for the concrete filled geocell membrane in the canals and laterals. It is expected that about 352,470 m3 of spoil will be generated from the excavation of canals, drains and lagoons. Additionally, 394 ha of vegetation will be cleared, thus vegetative waste (branches, tree tops, bark, foliage, stumps, roots, undersized trees, rotten and broken trees, waterborne woody debris and ground vegetation) will be generated from clearing and excavation work.
Waste materials, including but not restricted to refuse, garbage, sanitary wastes, industrial wastes and oil and other petroleum products, shall be disposed of by the Contractor. Disposal of waste material shall be by burying, where burial of such materials is approved by the Engineer, or by removal from the construction area. The Contractor will provide a Waste Management Plan to be approved by the engineering consultant. Excess excavated material will foremost be reused for backfilling of roads, canals, trenches and embankments, as well as earth fills for roads within the scheme area based on the engineering consultant’s recommendations. The Contractor may establish borrow pits on site for materials with approval from the engineering consultant. Any unused excavated material will be used in backfilling the borrow
pits. Where the Contractor does not create any borrow pits the unused material will be disposed at the engineered landfill site to be established by SODA or at an appropriate landfill site to be determined by the Contractor with approval from the engineering consultant and SODA. Materials found to be unsuitable for reuse may be used for backfilling of borrow pits with approval from the Engineering Consultant and the District Assemblies. Disposal of construction waste shall comply with local and international regulations and also project management requirements. All solvent waste, oily rags and flammable liquids shall be kept with fire resistant covered containers until removed from the worksite.
4.2.3 Project Management and Schedule
The initial phase of the rehabilitation and modernisation works, including the civil works on the scheme is expected to cover 18 months. Agricultural development is expected to commence in
GCAP /MoFA
Final ESMP _Rehabilitation and Modernization of Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS). Page 19
May 2019
the second half of year 2, which is after 18 months, continuing through years 3 and 4, when full benefits would have been achieved. Crop benefits would thus be phased out over 3 years. The project is analysed over a 25-year period, during which it is expected that most of the civil works structures would still be in a good state of use.
4.2.4 Scheme Management
The project proposes to set up an efficient scheme management with an effective scheme management structure. The scheme will be managed by the Scheme Management Entity (SME) and the formation of a Water Users Association (WUA). The Supervising Authority (SA) responsible for the WUA formation and development will be GIDA. GIDA will undertake its tasks according to the WUA Regulations (LI 2230) and provide regular support on matters of administration,
accounting and general management as well as audits to ensure that the WUA is doing its duty. Each WUA will have sub committees (i.e. management, dispute committee, etc.) for effective management of activities and accountability. This will ensure the long term sustainability of the irrigation scheme and subsequently the GCAP investment. Following a needs assessment study and follow up discussions with GCAP, GIDA, KIS management and farmer beneficiaries, a private sector company has been proposed as the Scheme Management Entity, responsible for the Management Operation and Maintenance (MOM) of the KIS main canal system whereas the Water Users Associations (WUAs) would be responsible for the MOM of the branch and lateral canal command area infrastructure.
The private sector company, selected as the SME, would enter a contractual arrangement with the Supervisory Authority (GIDA) while the WUA would be the Clients of the SME and each WUA would enter a contractual arrangement with the SME for the delivery of water to their intake canal gate. The farmer/irrigation beneficiaries, have been established as WUA. A WUA will consist of 15 or more farmers drawn from one or more adjacent blocks in the scheme, depending upon field sizes and land allocations. Each WUA will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of irrigation and drainage infrastructure within its area in the scheme. To discharge this function, the association will collect Irrigation Service Charges (ISC) from its members. WUAs will be further organised into larger bodies known as Federations.
Federations will operate and maintain all main and secondary canals and ensure upkeep of all major drains within the project area. These functions will be financed by collecting appropriate fees from member WUAs.
The private sector company, selected as the Scheme Management Entity (SME), will mainly function to ensure implementation of GIDA policies on the scheme. The Scheme Management Entity will report to the Scheme’s Stakeholder Governing Board (SGB), a platform comprising of representatives from MoFA, GIDA, District Assembly, Traditional Authorities, and Federation of WUAs.

4.2.5 Proposed Farm Operations and Agricultural Management
Proposed Cropping Patterns Diversification for the purpose of change and soil husbandry will improve farmer income. Following the rehabilitation of the KIS infrastructure, the KIS Scheme Management Entity will be able to manage the water delivery in the scheme to allow farmers to diversify their crop selection but within a KIS managed cropping plan and pattern that allows both timely cultivation and harvesting of all crops under the cropping plan. Crop diversification, as was mentioned above, can and does include the cropping of vegetables.
Vegetables are high value crops in terms of “farm income returns” and the planting of vegetables is a means to increase farm profitability and scheme viability. Fruit trees can be part of a diversification but these are more a permanent cultivation rather than a part of a yearly planned cropping pattern. All the soils are relatively suited to the cropping of rice, vegetables and maize but agricultural practices need to vary between soil types for the same crops. The light textured Amo and Hake series near Dofor, Kotoko and Dzogbedi are however more suitable for vegetables (high value crop), oil palm and maize. The AMU + TEFLE Series is suited for fruit trees; mangoes and oil palm. All the soils are low in the three major plant nutrients N, P and K with P and N as the most limiting. For irrigated rice with a yield expectation of 5 t/ha, N application of ≥ 90 kg is required.
About 60 kg/ha of P2O5 and K2O are required to sustain yield of 4-6 t/ha. The minor (dry) season is more suitable for horticulture (vegetable mainly) production. The major (wet) season can therefore be planned as the main season for rice cultivation (100% of the KIS command area with rice) and the crop diversification with maize and/or vegetables can be introduced during the minor (dry) season (70% rice and 30% is a possible sample diversification). Milling, Drying Floors and Warehousing The main drying floors are owned by KIS and Abians. The Consultant has recommended that the drying capacity of the mills (or each mill) should be improved with the addition of electric
powered dryers rather than increasing the number of drying floors, thus increasing and extending surface area, within the scheme where available space is limited.
GCAP /MoFA
Final ESMP _Rehabilitation and Modernization of Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS). Page 21
May 2019
Machinery and Equipment Consultant recommends that the power tiller should be maintained as the main type of machinery equipment for land preparation. Ideally, the number of power tillers to cater for the KIS area would be between 300 and 380 (instead of the current 200), thus allowing for the unforeseen logistical problems that are more than likely to occur over such a large area of planting operations. In addition to the need for the power tiller or other machinery and equipment for land preparation, there is the added need to also have rice planting machinery to complete both the land preparation activity and the planting activity within a 30-day period; the 30-day period being the allotted number of days under the KIS cropping plan in which both land preparation
and planting must be completed. The Consultant considers that the area needs access to an increased number of harvesting machines as well as new modern machines. By the volume of production within the KIS in order to maintain a planned cropping pattern, there is the need for modern combine harvesters such as the Claas Crop Tiger 30. A ‘small’ combine harvester of around 50 hp can do around 200 ha/year (example a Claas Crop Tiger 30). So, for double cropping of rice in KIS, a total of approximately 4,250 ha are to be harvested, then it is estimated that approximately 22 combine harvesters of this type will be needed to be available within the KIS area.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
This chapter discusses the positive and adverse impacts associated with the project as already evaluated in the ESIA report with corresponding mitigation measures.
5.1 Summary of Positive Impacts
The methodology for assessing the positive impacts for this project is based on the following: i. national policies;
ii. stakeholder concerns; and
iii. community/farmer expectations.
Employment generation The proposed project will result in the engagement of skilled and unskilled labour for both the planning and implementation periods. The operational phase of the project will provide employment for the scheme management staff, farm hands and labourers. The project will therefore have a major positive impact on the socioeconomic conditions of the local communities in and around the project area (Kasunya, Klebuse, Nyapienya, Dogbedzi) and the Shai-Osudoku District Assembly (SODA) and Lower Manya Krobo District Assembly (LMKDA) through the creation of permanent and temporary direct as well as indirect jobs. The SME will adopt a local content policy and local procurement policy to compel unskilled labour and procurement of goods and services from the project area. Improved crop productivity of farmers: Irrigation services will enable farmers to plant all year round and avoid losses during periods of low rain fall and drought. The provision of services for participating farmers such as land preparation, fertilizers, improved seeds, etc. will boost crop productivity on farms. Capacity building for farmers and transfer of knowledge will help them better manage their farms and boost productivity. The proposed project is therefore expected to have a major positive impact on the crop productivity of the participating farmers. The SME will ensure and oversee to it that the extension services depart of the Ministry of Agriculture (MOFA) provides support to farmers. Enhanced income and livelihoods of farmers The expected increment in crop productivity and production when the rehabilitated and modernized irrigation scheme is fully operational will contribute to increasing income and improve the livelihoods of beneficiaries. Also, job creation during the construction phase and subsequent engagement of residents of and others as farmers on the scheme will contribute to increasing their income levels and improve their livelihood situation. The SME will organize investment education programmes on
how best to utilize income and savings for farmers to help enhance livelihoods.

Final ESMP _Rehabilitation and Modernization of Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS). Page 26
May 2019
Increased food production and food security in the district and the country at large The improved irrigation system, methods of crop production and use of high quality and improved seed varieties will increase food production in the project area and the country as a whole. It is also expected that the improved access roads, improved efficient operations and storage facilities will significantly reduce post-harvest losses of farmers on the project. The impact will be major and of regional extent. The SME with the aid of the government should adopt the policy of putting up warehouses for storage to enhance food security. Improvement in the revenue base of key institutions and regulatory bodies
Revenue will accrue to traditional authorities and regulatory institutions through the payment of royalties and regulatory fees and levies. Improvement in local and national economy The jobs that will be created by the scheme, together with improved road access and increase in crop production, productivity, income and improvement in livelihood among beneficiary farmers will substantially contribute to improving the local and national economy. As production increases on the scheme, it is expected that new businesses along the value addition chains will emerge which can substantially contribute to a vibrant local economy. On the national front, the expected increment in rice production and productivity can contribute to reducing the nation’s rice importation bill.
Increased climate change adaptation The proposed project will enable farmers adapt to the effects of climate change as it is a more resilient option compared to rain-fed agriculture due to the availability of water all year round for farming. The SME will educate farmers on climate change and its effects as well as incorporate climate change into its trainings. 5.2 Evaluation of Potential Adverse Impacts Associated with Planning Phase Activities
The significant adverse impacts (rated as moderate or major) identified from the analysis and evaluation of the potential impacts in the ESIA are summarized in this section.
The methodology for identifying impacts was based on the following:
i. results of documentary research, public consultation meetings and interviews; ii. visual observations made in the field; and
iii. the Consultant’s experience in similar projects.
5.2.1 Preparatory and Planning Phase Impacts (Pre-construction phase)
Uncertainty of the project schedule and scope could result in some level of unrest and anxiety amongst the farmers in the scheme for fear of loss of their livelihood during the construction and rehabilitation phase of the proposed project. Stakeholder consultations during meetings at
the design phase sought to allay these concerns.
GCAP /MoFA
Final ESMP _Rehabilitation and Modernization of Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS). Page 27
May 2019
5.2.2 Constructional Phase Impacts
Loss of vegetation and impacts on flora and fauna The rehabilitation works involve massive clearing of vegetation (aquatic weeds, shrubs, grass, trees) from the canals and drains prior to the commencement of the civil works and earthworks. The proposed site is an existing irrigation scheme and vegetation in the project site is heavily modified as a result of agriculture and human settlements. From the terrestrial studies carried out, there are no species of ecological concern at the project site. The impact is limited to project site, is of local extent and moderate. Disruption of livelihood of farmers and reduced food production
The main source of livelihood within the area is crop farming, where the existing sections of the canals that are still functional are being used. The rehabilitation work will result in sections of the canals being closed for works to be carried out. This is likely to affect water availability in the canal for farming. There are considerations for bypasses to be created from the canals during rehabilitation while work on the canals are ongoing. The impact may be temporary, lasting during the constructional phase, but could have negative impacts on livelihood of farmers and farm workers and ultimately food security. The impact is limited to the project site, lasting during the constructional phase and major. Soil Impacts
Soil erosion Most construction and clearance activities will inevitably cause an appreciable exposure of the top soil and disturbances through vegetation clearance, earthworks, site grading, vehicle/worker movements etc. The exposed and loose soils become very vulnerable to erosion especially when the KIS area is noted for torrential rains and strong winds. Soil Pollution Construction trucks and machinery operations with consequential breakdowns on the fields may lead to increased risk of soil contamination from fuel and oils. The impacts are temporary lasting during the construction work activities and are moderate.
Air quality deterioration
Loose soils exposed during land preparation work and movement of vehicles/trucks (including
haulage trucks) to and from the project site on untarred surfaces may result in increased
airborne particulates, thus affecting the air quality. No permanent air emission sources will be
created by the project implementation.
The impact is temporary, intermittent, and moderate, lasting during the construction phase.
Vibration and noise nuisance
The likely sources of noise during the constructional phase will be through the movement and
operation of machines, trucks and equipment. The movement of haulage trucks from quarry
GCAP /MoFA
Final ESMP _Rehabilitation and Modernization of Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS). Page 28
May 2019
sites through Asutsuare junctions, Okwenya and Akuse may increase noise levels intermittently
in those communities. Noise levels from the movement of vehicles over access roads, measured
at a distance of 10 m, typically range between 77 dBA and 83 dBA (BS 5228-1:2009). This is
expected to further reduce by 6 dBA at distance of about 20 m. Project communities such as
Kasunya, Klebuse and Dogbedzi may also experience temporary increase in noise and vibration
levels from construction activities.
Generation and disposal of solid waste Vegetative material and excavated soils will form the bulk of waste generated. Other waste includes metal scrap, worn tyres and spent lubricating oil, empty lubricant containers, rubber seals, concrete debris, etc. which must be disposed of properly to avoid adverse impact on the
environment. The impact is of local extent and temporal, lasting during the planning and construction phase and major. Occupational accidents/ risk to health and safety of workers Workers will be exposed to noise, vibrations and dust. Additionally, there is high risk of accidents and injuries from the use of equipment and machinery and from working along roads. Workers are also at risk of falling into the canals, drainage lagoons and creeks. The risk of these hazards may affect workers’ health and work productivity.
This impact is temporary, lasting during the construction phase and moderate. Risk of traffic accidents and public safety Project communities may be at risk from accidents and from the movement of trucks/vehicles and other machinery, as well as unsecured excavations (i.e. canals, laterals and drains). This is particularly critical for children in the Klebuse, Kasunya and other communities along the haulage routes. It is expected that, in the worst case scenario where all 352,470 m3 materials required for filling are obtained from quarries and borrow pits, the construction phase will require the transportation of about 60 truckloads of materials per day (both inbound and outbound) for the 18-month duration of the construction works using 20 m3 capacity trucks.
The transportation of construction materials and the movement of heavy equipment to the project site, as well as the transport of waste from the site, may pose accident/safety risks to inhabitants/communities along the Asutsuare and Akuse Junction. Improperly covered trenches may result in stagnant water and breed mosquitoes which may result in outbreak of diseases such as malaria, etc. This impact is temporary, lasting during the construction phase and major. Disturbance of road traffic and deterioration of road networks The transportation of construction materials, waste generated and the movement of heavy equipment to the project site may pose risk to inhabitants along the affected routes (mainly
through Doryumu and Asutsuare junctions, Okwenya and Akuse). In the worst-case scenario, approximately 60 truckloads of materials will be transported per day (both inbound and
GCAP /MoFA
Final ESMP _Rehabilitation and Modernization of Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS). Page 29
May 2019
outbound) for the 18-month duration of the construction works using 20 m3 capacity trucks. The increased traffic may alter the quality of the roads along haulage routes, though significant is not expected to hinder or alter exiting road traffic situation on the affected roads.
Risk of spread of diseases
Identified public health impacts include spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs) as a result of probable irresponsible sexual behavior by migrant workers. Open
defecation may also be promoted if adequate toilet facilities are not provided during
construction for workers and food vendors who may patronize the site. Poorly managed
construction site camps and indiscriminate disposal of waste will create unsightly conditions.
Improperly covered trenches may result in stagnant water and breed mosquitoes. Faecal
matter from open defecation by construction workers, and transported soil sediments by air
and water may end up in nearby waterbodies (Kasu, Lupu, Klebwe and Nayapie Lagoons, and
Volta River) and affect the water quality. The water bodies are used by communities for
domestic and fishing purposes. The drainage lagoons serve as the only source of water for
Kasunya, Dzogbedzi and Klebuse which are communities within the scheme area. The
communities do not have any source of potable water and hence depend on the canals and the
lagoons for water. Construction works will affect their water sources used for drinking and
domestic purposes.
Obstruction of access ways to communities
The road network along the canals serve as access and link roads for some communities in the
project area. Example, the main KIS entrance road is a link road for Kasunya and Nyapienya
communities through Golden Exotics Ltd. Construction works at the project may render
portions of the roads and existing foot paths inaccessible, temporarily closed or unmotorable
during the constructional phase. This may create inconvenience and increase travel time to and
from the affected communities.
Influx of workers Risk of increase in criminality and violence
The proposed project is expected to induce an influx of migrants into the nearby communities. The influx of migrants to the area will greatly influence the security of the affected communities. Risk of conflicts The migrants may not conform to the societal norms and cultural practices and may upset the social structure of these communities. The increased population will also put stress on the available resources such as drinking water. The impact may be permanent or irreversible in nature and major.
GCAP /MoFA
Final ESMP _Rehabilitation and Modernization of Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS). Page 30
May 2019
5.2.3 Operational and Maintenance Phase Impacts
The identified significant adverse impacts during the operational and maintenance phase of the proposed project are as follows: Soil degradation Poor farming practices such as poor crop cover after land preparation, lack of soil conservation structures, continuous tilling of the soil, insufficient or inappropriate use of agrochemicals and inorganic fertilizers as well as continuous cropping could adversely affect soil physical, chemical and biological quality. The impact is major and local but will last through the life span of the project and may have lasting adverse effects of the soil.
Risk of accidents and public safety The weeds also provide favourable habitats for many disease vectors, notably the vector of bilharzia and that of the yellow fever virus. The presence of uncovered water bodies (dam, drains, NSRs and canals) and access restrictions poses the danger of drowning, especially children who are unattended. The canals and drainage lagoons serve as a source of water for communities within the scheme (i.e. Kasunya, Klebuse etc.). The transport of agrochemicals in runoff and waste water could result in health impacts on water users. Water quality deterioration Erosion may result in the transport of soil sediments into the scheme area and downstream
into the Volta River. This, coupled with the high nutrient content of the wastewater from the farms, could lead to the proliferation of weeds in the river and affect water use downstream of the scheme. Other possible source of pollution of the river is the transport of agrochemicals in runoff water and waste water. Groundwater resources could also be contaminated from the percolation of agrochemicals and nutrients through the soil. Waste generation Waste to be generated during the operational phase include crop residue and agrochemical containers. Other waste to be generated include pack house waste (mainly fruit and vegetable culls) and office waste (paper, drinking water sachets, etc.).
Occupational accidents and risk to health and safety of workers Machine operators will be exposed to noise, dust and vibrations especially without the use of appropriate PPEs. There is a risk of accidents and injury from the use of machinery and equipment if safety procedures are not followed, as well as from snake, insect, rodent or dog bites etc. There is also a high risk of exposure to agrochemicals through storage, handling, application and disposal. Fire risk Farms are highly susceptible to fires which could result in death, burns and loss of property (crops on farm and structures) and investment of the farmers and also adjacent farmers. The fires could emanate from within the farm (uncontrolled burning, smoking, cooking, etc.) or
spread from outside the farm area.
GCAP /MoFA
Final ESMP _Rehabilitation and Modernization of Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS). Page 31
May 2019
Post-harvest losses Farm crops and stored grains are susceptible to attacks from insects and rodents if the necessary management practices and storage conditions for the produce are not followed. Pest/rodent infestation and contamination of produce as well as disease infestation and improper storage conditions might result in critical loss of produce/harvest and investment by farmers. Impacts on water abstraction The irrigation potential of the flood plains of the Lower Volta River have been explored since 1961. Provisions were therefore made for outlets in both left and right wing embankments of
the Kpong Dam for irrigation of areas downstream of the Dam. Each outlet has a capacity of about 7.2 m3/s at the “Normal Low Level” Kpong Dam generation operation level of 14.60 m. Water abstraction by the project will therefore not compromise hydropower generation by the Kpong Dam, and the Dam’s operations in general. The impact is minor. Risk of diseases and public safety Communities within the scheme such as Kasunya and Klebuse may be significantly impacted by project activities. Spray drift from the application of agrochemicals as well as dust and noise from land preparation activities for subsequent planting seasons may negatively impact on the communities, since they are located upwind of the predominant wind direction. Impacts from the use of pesticides/ agrochemicals on aquatic life and subsequently health impacts on individuals who rely on the water for domestic purposes. The impact is major and will last for the lifespan of the project. Sustainability of the irrigation scheme Factors that may affect the sustainability of KIS include inadequate funding, poor capacity building for WUA management of the scheme and emergency situations such as fire, dam collapse and flooding. Emergency situations may arise from various activities within and outside of the scheme. For example, vehicular accidents, bush fires, power failures, etc. may have disastrous consequences if no emergency response plans are put in place. The losses could be higher and result in joblessness of the farmers if appropriate measures are not put in place. The impact is major and will last throughout the lifespan of the project.
5.2.4 Mitigation Measures for Significant Potential Adverse Impacts
Mitigation measures have been proposed in Table 10 below for the potential significant environmental and social impacts of the proposed project identified in the ESIA. Cost of implementation of construction phase impacts This ESMP proposes mitigations which should adequately guide bidders/contractors to offer competitive prices for the management of environmental, social, health and safety impacts as identified in the ESIA.

Soil erosion and soil pollution
Soil, water bodies, air
The clearing of vegetation in sections by the contractor(s) will ensure only areas of the land to be developed at a particular time are exposed to agents of erosion. This will also ensure the cleared areas of the land are not left bare over long periods as development at the cleared areas will be carried out immediately. This will minimize erosion and sediment transport from the project site;
The contractor will leave a buffer area of 25 metres width along the banks of the Kasu, Klebwe, Nyapia and Lupu lagoons and streams as well as the Volta river, which is within the range (10 to 60 meters) prescribed in the National Buffer Zone Policy. The buffer zones will screen any soil sediments transported through run off water during the construction and land preparation activities from getting into the water bodies. Machine operators will be sensitized to leave such buffers;
The contractor(s) will immediately collect any excess excavated soils to minimize the potential for erosion into water bodies and such excess or unusable materials will be used to fill existing borrow pits;
The contractor will ensure appropriate spill control measures are provided at the vehicle maintenance area and fuels storage areas to reduce the potential impact from spills.eg. sand buckets, cemented platforms, etc. These will include provision of bunds to contain spills, installation and servicing of fuel dispensers. Workers will be trained on how to contain and manage spills.
Heaps of excavated soils suitable for reuse during construction will be utilized in the shortest possible time to minimise exposure. Where the material is unsuitable for backfilling, it may be used to fill burrow pits or it will be disposed at a dump site approved by the Shai Osudoku District Assembly and the Lower Manya Krobo District Assembly.

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MONITORING PLAN
Environmental and social monitoring is an essential component of a post project review phase following Environmental and Social Assessment. The monitoring of various environmental and social parameters will also help to confirm any predicted impact or otherwise and address the effectiveness of the implementation of the mitigation measures. The monitoring plan includes the responsible institutions or persons and estimated budget/cost requirements. Detailed cost analysis from prospective consultants and experts to be engaged as part of the monitoring programme will be needed to confirm cost requirements. In addition to the significant adverse impacts, monitoring plans have been
developed for the following: air quality water quality; noise emissions; public complaints/grievances; environmental compliance. The environmental and social monitoring plan proposed for the Crop Farming project is presented in Table 11.

Capacity building and training on the health, safety, environmental and social management measures outlined in the ESMP and permit schedule will ensure the effective implementation of the ESMP and the permit conditions. Providing adequate training for the workers and farmers and ensuring effective dissemination of information will contribute immensely towards: i. environmental management through the judicious use of resources and appropriate
disposal of waste; ii. prevention of accidents that might cause injury to workers and farmers and pose risks to
persons and the general environment; iii. ensuring security in and around the project site to protect lives and property of the
workers/farmers and the neighbouring communities; iv. peaceful coexistence between project proponents and project communities.

8.0 GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM
A grievance is any query, call for clarification, problems, and concerns raised by individuals or groups related to activities undertaken or processes applied by the project. Grievances can be an indication of growing stakeholder concerns and can escalate if unidentified and resolved. The management of grievances is therefore a vital component of stakeholder management in ensuring the sustainability of the project. A Grievance Redress Mechanism (GRM) is therefore a system by which queries or clarifications about a project are responded to, problems that arise out of implementation are resolved and grievances are addressed efficiently and effectively. An effective and efficient GRM should have multiple avenues or channels for lodging complaints,
transparency, promptness and timeliness of responses and clear procedures. The Dispute Settlement Committee (DSC) will be responsible for receiving grievances which may be channeled to him/her directly through face-to-face communication, phone calls, letters, e-mail, text messages, etc. Grievances may also be sent to the EHSSO through the EHSRs, EHSOs and Security Coordinator. The EHSSO shall have a log book for keeping records of all grievances received. Any grievance received from the public shall be treated confidentially and resolved in a transparent and fair manner. The process of resolving grievances shall comprise the following tiers: 5. Dispute Settlement Committee (DSC); 6. Scheme Supervisor;
7. District Assembles; and 8. Court of Law. From the community sensitization and engagement carried out for the proposed project, many grievances are not anticipated to arise from the project implementation and any unforeseen grievances may be resolved at the second tier (Scheme Supervisor) in the worst case. The process of resolving grievances is summarized in Figure 3.

9.0 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY AND COST ESTIMATES
The institutional arrangements and responsibilities, environmental and safety management strategy, reporting requirements and implementation schedule and cost estimates to ensure effective implementation of the ESMP are presented in this chapter.
9.1 Institutional Arrangements
9.1.1 Kpong Irrigation Scheme
The institutional arrangement for the management of the KIS is presented in Table 13. Table 13: Institutional arrangement for the management of KIS
Issues Arrangements
Selected Scheme Management Entity
The scheme will be managed by the Scheme Management Entity (SME) and the formation of a Water Users Association (WUA). The Supervising Authority (SA) responsible for the WUA formation and development will be GIDA.
Legal form of operation For the SME, there will be a contractual arrangement between the Public Authority
(MoFA/GIDA) and the Private Sector Entity This type of agreement between the Public Authority and the Private Sector Entity is generally referred to as a Public Private Partnership (PPP), even if the PPP can take a wide range of agreements, structure, roles, and responsibilities; all depending on the involvement of the Private Sector Entity and the risk to be taken, or agreed to be taken, by the Private Sector Entity.
Contracting parties and duration of contract
The Federation of Irrigation Water Users’ Associations on behalf of the WUA will contract the SME for the period of at least 5 years with renewal option as per IWUAR Art. 50. It is not recommended that the SME will pay a lease to GIDA since any additional costs would increase the Irrigation Service Charge (ISC), farmers are supposed to pay.
Owner of assets
GIDA will remain owner of all infrastructures associated with the KIS. These are main canals, laterals, sub-laterals, office blocks and operational machinery. As far as non-irrigation related assets are concerned, all residential houses, country club will remain in the ownership of GIDA and the latter can rent them to the SME and its staff members. Alternatively, GIDA can sell all non-irrigated infrastructures.
Responsibilities Contracting Authority (CA)
The WUAs represented by the Federation can terminate the contract with the operator when there is evidence of poor performance. GIDA as future Supervising Authority will assist the Federation to supervise and monitor the SME. GIDA as the owner of the infrastructures will carry out major investments (for improvements) in the scheme which is not considered as replacement investments or repairs and hence are not part of the Irrigation Service Charge (ISC) price farmers have to pay. GIDA will take over the governance functions: the regulation and control functions are water resource allocation, water resource monitoring, and supervision of irrigation management.
Responsibilities SME
The SME will operate, maintain and manage the irrigation schemes, particularly headworks, main canals and all related structures and if need arises also laterals (which should be principally managed by the farmers) for a certain period of times until farmers are fully conversant with O&M. SME will calculate and update the ISC, collect the fees from the farmers on lateral
GCAP /MoFA
Final ESMP _Rehabilitation and Modernization of Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS). Page 70
May 2019
Issues Arrangements
committee level and maintain the structures according to best practices. The ISC to be paid by the farmers covers all O&M costs, repairs, replacement investments and the remuneration of the SME.
Optional tasks Given the currently limited availability of agricultural extension service and insufficient capacity of farmer organisations, to manage laterals and sub- laterals, the SME might be tasked to provide basic training and capacity building functions until the private sector has fully taken over this role. Within this arrangement, farmers still have to rely on external service providers (government or private) for machinery services, marketing and processing of agricultural produce. However, the SME can be tasked to assist in the facilitation of settling down agro-industry.
9.1.2 Water Users Association
The management of the operation and maintenance (MOM) of the KIS Branch Canal and Lateral Canal command areas’ (I&D) infrastructure will be the responsibility of the Water User Association (WUA), established at the Branch and Lateral Canals which off-take from the Main Canal. The I &D infrastructure to be managed include: Branch, Lateral and Sub-Lateral Canals & Drains, Collector Drains, all I&D Hydraulic Structures, all In-field and Link Roads, and
all Maintenance and all Inspection Roads on the Branch Canals. The roles and responsibilities of the institutions for the operation of WUA are presented in Table 14. Table 14: Roles and responsibilities for the operation of the WUA

10.0 INTEGRATION OF ESMP WITH PROJECT
The ESIA and preparation of the ESMP for the project have been carried out in tandem with the project feasibility and design stages. The Environmental Consultant participated in project technical meetings where project designs and considerations, as well as associated environmental and social issues were identified and discussed. The project technical meetings involve GCAP, GIDA, the Design Consultant (BRL Ingénierie), the Environmental Consultant and representatives from OACS.
10.1 Integration of ESIA/ESMP Phases with Project Design
The stages of the ESIA and preparation of the ESMP and integration with the project are as
follows:
Inception phase and preliminary assessment
The inception phase of the environmental assessment involved reconnaissance visits to the project site, review of project documents and consultations with project proponents. The project documents provided key information for the preliminary assessment. Some environmental challenges with the existing scheme were identified at this stage which were key inputs for the pre-feasibility study.
Scoping
The scoping phase involved further consultations with the project proponents, design consultants, and relevant government agencies; review of preliminary design documents and field investigations. The Environmental Consultant participated in monthly progress technical meetings in which the design consultant made presentations on the progress of work which were discussed and inputs made by the various stakeholders present. Concerns from participating farmers and community leaders were also discussed. Draft Technical Assessment report presented by Engineering Consultant and technical decisions taken at the technical meetings were key inputs for the scoping.
Draft ESIA and ESMP
The draft ESIA and ESMP involved detailed field assessment, further consultations with project
communities and review of Draft Technical Assessment reports. Several interactions were held between the Environmental Consultant, GCAP, GIDA and the Design Consultants to review and discuss project designs; environmental, social, health and safety concerns; and initial drafts of the ESIA and ESMP. Environmental and health & safety concerns from the Draft ESIA and ESMP were noted by the Design Consultant and incorporated into the Draft Detailed Design report.
Final ESIA and ESMP
The final ESIA and ESMP incorporated review comments from GCAP/GIDA, EPA and the World Bank. The final reports also incorporated comments provided for the Kpong Left Bank Irrigation project (KLBIP) by the World Bank which are applicable to KIS. Further consultations required with communities within the KIS, i.e. Kasunya and Klebuse that were not consulted earlier have
been consulted and summarized in the reports. The consultant incorporated project information from the Detailed Design report in the preparation of the Final ESIA.

The integration of the various stages of the ESIA and ESMP with the project feasibility and design is shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Integration of ESIA and ESMP with Project Feasibility and Design
10.2 Management Commitment to Implementation of the ESIA
Management is fully committed to implement the measures proposed in the ESIA and ESMP during all phases of the project. To achieve this, management structures, with roles and responsibilities, proposed in Chapter 9 will be established. The plan includes: Institutional arrangements (agencies and responsibilities); Environmental, health, safety and security (EHSS) management structuring; Environmental, health, safety and security committee; and
Performance monitoring and institutional reporting requirements. Management of the Scheme have been assigned key responsibilities for the implementation of the ESMP at all stages of the project to ensure their commitment and direct involvement. These management bodies include GIDA, GCAP, Stakeholder Governing Board, The SME and WUA Leaders. Management will ensure all actors in the ESMP implementation are provided with the requisite training/ capacity building (Chapter 7) and resources to ensure all responsible persons/institutions understand their roles and responsibilities, as well as have the necessary skills and attitudes to implement the ESMP at all stages of the project implementation. A
budgetary allocation of GH¢973,850.00 will be required to fully implement the ESIA/ESMP.

11.0 CONCLUSION
GCAP acknowledges that the activities and operations of the KIS could potentially impact on the environment, workers, customers and the public, and is very mindful of its obligations towards the protection of the environment and ensuring the health and safety of the farmers, customers and the communities at the project area.
GCAP will continue to invest in ensuring a safe environment that will assure sustainable farming operations and will also continue to undertake its activities and operations in accordance with the laws of Ghana as well as international best practices governing development activities of
this nature.
The environmental, social, health and safety action plans outlined in this ESMP as well as emergency response plans will be implemented and monitored to ensure effective mitigation and management of the project impacts. The implementation of the proposed management and monitoring measures in this ESMP may cost GCAP about GH¢973,850.00.
The proposed rehabilitation and modernization project has the potential to provide numerous benefits to the project communities and the national economy. These include employment opportunities for farmers and farm hands, workers, enhancement of income and livelihoods, increased food production, food security and improvement in revenue generation of regulatory
institutions and the national economy.

PCL - Provisional Clearance Permit (Valid for a maximum of 1 year)
Where in respect of an application for registration of a pesticide, the Agency is satisfied that most information required for its registration has been provided to the Agency, and the pesticide does not present a toxicological risk to people, animals, crops or the environment, it may clear the pesticide for use without the registration, and this clearance shall be known as provisional clearance and shall be temporary pending the registration by the Agency of the pesticide (Section 32, Part II of Act 490)
Experimental permit
The Agency may authorize the importation of unregistered pesticide if the pesticide is imported for experimental or research purposes and not for distribution Section 28, (2), (a), (i).

PREPARATORY PHASE
1. Anxiety from
potential loss of
livelihood
As part of its awareness creation efforts, GCAP/KISwill continue with its efforts to ensure that potentially affected individuals are adequately informed, in advance, of the scope, magnitude and schedule of the proposed project, its implications for their continued farming over the construction period. These measures will minimise the problem of confrontation and conflicts and will reduce this impact significantly.
GCAP will also ensure that farmers are informed of any changes in the project design that may affect their status as affected persons.

1. Loss of
vegetation and
impacts on flora
and fauna
The Contractor for the construction works will carry out vegetation clearance in phases and clearance will be limited to portions of the land to be developed at a particular time. The entire area will not be cleared at a once as the project will be developed in phases.
Total felling will not be done during vegetation clearance. Stands of trees will be left at the boundaries of the farm to serve as windbreaks.

be achieved at heights of 0.30m above the ground maintaining the roots in the ground to ensure anchorage of soil particles that tend to erode when the river is discharging.
To minimize erosion and sediment transport as a result of vegetation removal, the necessary works to be carried out in the cleared locations will be done promptly.
The period of exposure of excavated soils to weather conditions will be limited to minimise the possibility of sediment transport as a result of storm water/runoff. Heaps of excavated soils suitable for reuse will be utliesed in the shortest possible time to mimimise exposure. Where the material is unsuitable for backfilling, it will be collected for disposal at a dump site approved by the Shai Osudoku and the Lower Manya Krobo District

Irrigation Scheme Operations and Maintenance Phase Impacts 1. Soil degradation Physical degradation
The SME will encourage farmers to adopt minimum tillage by during planting seasons to reduce the susceptibility of the soil to erosion and also hard pan formation associated with continuous ploughing at the same depth.
After harvesting, crop residue comprising process residue (straw, husks, skins, trimmings, cobs and bran of cereals) and field residue (stalks and stubble/stems, leaves of crops) will be tilled into the soil to improve the soil structure and soil organic matter content.
The SME will encourage farmers to utilise cover crops at erosion prone areas.
The SME will, preferentially, advise and train on selective pesticides

INTRODUCTION
1. The Government of Ghana (GoG) led by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) is
implementing the Ghana Commercial Agriculture Project (GCAP) with funding from the
World Bank (WB) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
2. The project has recently been restructured with the revised Project Development Objective
(PDO) as: To improve agricultural productivity and production of both smallholder and
nucleus farms in selected project intervention areas through increased access to reliable
water, land, finance, agricultural inputs, and-output markets.
3. The restructured GCAP now consists of seven components as follows:
(i) Strengthening investment promotion infrastructure and facilitating secure access to land;
(ii) Securing PPPs and smallholder linkages in the Accra Plains; (iii) Securing PPPs and
small-holder linkages in the SADA Zone; (iv) Project Management including M&E and
impact analysis; (v) Investments in physical rehabilitation and modernization of existing
public irrigation and drainage infrastructure; (vi) Support to the restructuring of irrigation and
drainage institutions of the Government of Ghana; and (vii) Support for the development of
Water Users’ Associations and new scheme management institutions.
BACKGROUND
4. As part of component 5: ‘Investments in physical rehabilitation and modernization of
existing public irrigation and drainage infrastructure’, GCAP in consultation with Ghana
Irrigation Development Authority (GIDA) has selected four (4) public irrigation schemes for
rehabilitation and modernization. Details of the selected irrigation schemes are presented in
table 1 below.

A Brief Description Of The Irrigation Schemes
Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS)
5. Following completion of the Kpong Dam which is downstream of the Akosombo
Hydroelectric Dam in 1982, gravity irrigation became possible and an initial area of about
3000 ha on the right bank of the Volta river was partially developed as a public irrigation
scheme, known as Kpong Irrigation Scheme (KIS).
6. The KIS is owned and operated by the Government of Ghana and it is located about two
hours north east of Accra, near the towns of Akuse and Asutsuare. With funding from the
Page 3 of 21
African Development Bank (AfDB), the scheme received a major facelift in the late 1990s
which resulted in the rehabilitation of the existing 1955 ha of irrigation land and further
development of 1073 ha of gravity irrigation for perennial rice production. It derives water
from the Volta River via the Kpong Reservoir which is primarily a relatively low head
hydroelectric generation and storage facility.
7. The system was designed by Sir M MacDonald & Partners in association with Hunting
Technical Services /K. K. Mercer & Partners. One thousand two hundred (1200) hectares of
the scheme are slightly higher in elevation and cannot be served by gravity. Therefore the
water has to be pumped about two meters to reach this area. This land has been provided to a
French company, Golden Exotic Ltd, for commercial banana production under drip irrigation.
The bananas are directly exported to France and other European markets.
8. The government subsidizes the scheme’s operation by seconding the management staff and
covering their salaries. Farmers pay annual rent and water use fees which are used to defray
the operation costs of the scheme.
9. The land is officially allocated to the farmer beneficiaries in one hectare allocations and
they are obliged to be members of the farmers’ cooperative established to champion their
common cause.
10. After years of poor maintenance the KIS was rehabilitated in 2003, with assistance from
the African Development Fund. It continues to be publicly managed (by Ghana Irrigation
Development Authority – GIDA). However, the irrigation infrastructure is again in need of
rehabilitation and modernization.
11. Under the current rehabilitation and modernization, funded by the World Bank/USAID,
the scope of works includes the designs and rehabilitation construction of the scheme that
will include but is not limited to irrigation and drainage infrastructure, farm access/inspection
roads, water distribution, control, and measuring structures, ponds, entire distribution and
canal system, dam, intake system including control tower/mechanisms, spillway(s) and
channel, scheme management offices, warehousing, repair shops etc.
12. The main infrastructure on the KIS which are in various stages of deterioration are
presented in the table below. Section A comprises of the area from Akuse to the main
Asutsuare road near the old sugar factory; Section B is the area served by the Northern Low
Level Canal and the Southern Low Level Canal together with Distributary Y and Z; Section
C is the area served by the High Level Canal (Golden Exotic area) See attached Map of
Irrigation and Drainage Layout.

Kpong Left Bank Irrigation Project (KLBIP)
13. The Kpong Left Bank Irrigation Project is situated in the North Tongu District of the
Volta Region, downstream of the Kpong Dam, starting from the gravelled Juapong road to
the Torgorme feeder road and stretching 8km along two tributaries of the Volta River, the
Gblor and Nyifla Rivers. The topography of the area is mainly gently sloping land with
moderate to heavy clay soils.
14. The project has two components; the Main Works of the Kpong Left Bank (Togorme)
Irrigation Project (KLBIP) and the Additional Works of the Kpong Piped Irrigation Water
Supply (KPIWS) which mainly services the centre pivot irrigation systems established by
Vegpro Ghana Limited, an anchor farmer that produces baby corn for export.
15. Initially, Acres International, a Canadian consulting firm, carried out pre-feasibility
studies on the project in 1986. Further studies were conducted by Sir Mott MacDonalds of the
UK in 1989 and finally a full feasibility study was carried out by SNC-Lavalin in 2010 to
establish a potential gravity fed irrigation area of 2000 ha. Out of the potential 2000 ha
gravity fed irrigable area, only 500 ha is currently developed.
16. The current GCAP/GIDA works on the scheme aim to rehabilitate, modernize and expand
the project by additional 1500 ha, thereby bringing the total irrigable area to the scheme’s
potential 2000 ha.

Tono Irrigation Scheme
18. The Tono Irrigation Scheme was established by the Ghana Government to promote food
crops production by small scale farmers within an organized scheme management. It is
located in Tono near Navrongo in the Upper East Region of Ghana. It has a gross area of
3860 ha with a potential irrigable area of 2680 ha of which 2490 ha has been developed. The
source of water is the Tono River.
19. Construction of the project commenced in 1975 and completed in 1985. Rehabilitation of
sections of the gravity system was carried out in 2008 by the Millennium Development
Authority (MIDA) by replacing the concrete slabs in the main and lateral gravity canals.
20. The current GCAP/GIDA works on the scheme aim to rehabilitate and modernize the
existing irrigation scheme having a fully functioning irrigable area of 2490 ha.

Vea Irrigation Scheme
21. The Vea Irrigation Scheme is situated in Vea near Bolgatanga, Upper East Region of
Ghana. Construction started in 1965 and was completed in 1980. The scheme has a potential
irrigable area of 1197 ha of which 850 ha have been developed. The source of water is the
Yarigatanga River.
22. Prior to the construction of both the Tono and Vea Irrigation Schemes much of the area
was cropped by the local population once annually during the rainy season. The farmers were
eventually moved to enable the dam, canals, and infrastructure to be constructed. After
completion of the two schemes, the farmers were allocated lands in the irrigable area and that
allowed them to cultivate twice a year (wet season and dry season).
23. The dry season crops solely depend on the irrigation water whereas the wet season crops
depend on supplementary irrigation water.
24. Currently, both schemes (Tono and Vea) are under the management of Irrigation
Company of Upper Region (ICOUR).

General Environmental Issues
25. Agriculture development can adversely impact the environment through destruction or
degradation / fragmentation of natural habitat (limiting animal migration), deforestation,
drainage of wetlands, loss of biodiversity, erosion and loss of soil fertility, siltation of water
bodies, reduction in water quality, changes in local hydrology, etc. However, such impacts
can be minimized or mitigated by shifting the focus from degradation to proper land
management, combining soil conservation with improvements in soil quality, preventing
erosion from roads and paths and considering climate change impacts where appropriate.
26. Irrigation too may result in an array of potential impacts associated with increased soil
salinity, potential alteration in local hydrology and depletion of groundwater resources,
increased erosion and sedimentation, degradation of water quality, etc.
27. Uncontrolled pesticide use can lead to several unintended and harmful environmental
effects such as contamination of soil and water, pesticide drift, effects on non-target
organisms, disruption of natural pest controls leading to pest resurgence, and resistance, and
severe and long-term unintended health impacts on the applicant.
General Social Issues
28. The rehabilitation and modernization of the four (4) irrigation schemes can have far
reaching negative social impacts through the possible loss of farmlands for those who
currently operate on the schemes and the need for compensation and resettlement of Project
Affected Persons (PAPs); conflicts between farmers and farmer groups over the use of water
and other resources; the relocation of culturally sensitive areas such shrines, public and
family cemeteries; population influx and impacts of increased contact with new comers and
outsiders as a result of project realization; issues of unfair distribution of project benefits;
vulnerable groups and their exclusion from the benefits of the project; inadequate
consultation with PAPs; loss of grazing lands by those who keep animals; etc.
However such negative social impacts can be minimized and/or mitigated through:
29. Affected farmers and other local indigenes should be relocated or duly compensated.
Compensation packages for lost assets such as cash crops and trees with economic value
should be negotiated with payments made in cash or in kind. Employment and alternative
Page 9 of 21
livelihood creation for locals should be considered as crucial in the overall project
development objectives.
30. Issues related to cultural heritage are very sensitive and should be treated with due
respect. Consensus building and public consultations regarding relocation of shrines, public
and family cemeteries should be held prior to project development. In addition, there is the
need to ensure that all the necessary rites are performed in accordance with the traditions and
customs of the communities. For culturally sensitive areas which cannot be relocated,
alternative routes for water retention infrastructure should be mapped out to fall outside these
culturally sensitive areas.
31. Alternative lands for traditional cropping and subsistence farming should be reserved.
This will allow farmers to have an integrated farming system which concentrates on both the
irrigation schemes and rain-fed method to allow those practicing subsistence farming to
continue providing for their families. On the other hand, grasslands within the project
catchment area should be developed as grazing area for livestock by designing alternative
routes for cattle grazing.
32. Land tenure/ ownership issues between individuals, families and communities must be
dealt with thoroughly to prevent any such future occurrence.
33. Population influx management strategies that place emphasis on sensitizing and educating
project affected communities on impacts of increased contact with new comers and outsiders
as a result of project realization should be devised. Issues such as HIV/AIDS and other
sexually transmitted diseases, general social change in areas of crime, conflicts, standard of
living and emergence of new lifestyles, sub and popular culture, etc. should be addressed.
Social and economic infrastructure such as roads, water and sanitation, electricity, should be
factored in to decrease over usage of these amenities brought about by population influx.
34. Community members should be sensitized to the need to safeguard crops against bush
fires and the farmers should train their workers in fire-fighting measures and institute
effective fire prevention measures.
35. Project implementers should endeavour to redistribute the irrigated land in a fair and
equitable manner so as to build the confidence of the local farmers in the project.
JUSTIFICATION FOR ESIA-ESMP STUDIES 36. GCAP is classified as a category A project under the World Bank’s safeguards
classification system. The project is required to comply with both national environmental
regulations/legislations and the World Bank’s safeguards policies of which the following
have been triggered:
Environmental Assessment OP/BP 4.01;
Natural Habitats OP/BP 4.04;
Forests OP/BP 4.36;
Pest Management OP 4.09;

Page 10 of 21
Involuntary Resettlement OP/BP 4.12;
Safety of Dams OP/BP 4.37; and
Projects on International Waterways OP/BP 7.50;
37. In compliance with Ghana’s Environmental Assessment Regulations of 1999 (LI 1652)
and the World Bank’s Safeguards Policy on Environmental Assessment - OP/BP 4.01 and
Involuntary Resettlement OP/BP 4.12, GCAP intends to engage a consulting firm to
undertake an Environmental and Social Impacts Assessment (ESIA) and develop stand-alone
Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for each of the four irrigation schemes
earmarked for rehabilitation and modernization.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
38. The objective of the current assignment is to carry out an Environmental & Social Impact
Assessment (ESIA) of each of the four schemes enumerated in Table 1 above and develop a
stand-alone Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for each scheme in
accordance with Ghana’s EPA guidelines and the World Bank’s Safeguards Policies.
SCOPE OF WORK
39. The Environmental and Social Impact Statements (ESISs) for the four (4) irrigation
schemes will be prepared in conformity with the requirements of the Ghana Environmental
Protection Agency Act of 1994 (Act 490) and the Environmental Assessment Regulations of
1999 (LI 1652) as well as the World Bank Safeguards Policies on Environmental Assessment
(OP/BP 4.01) and Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12). Relevant national regulations as
well as the World Bank Group Environmental, Health and Safety Guidelines will be applied
in assessing expected environmental and social impacts and in proposing management and
mitigation measures (in ESMP).
40. The selected consulting firm is expected to hold in-depth discussions with GCAP, GIDA,
ICOUR and other stakeholders including consultants that have been engaged by GCAP to
design and supervise the rehabilitation and modernization of the four schemes. This would
allow the selected consulting firm to better understand the current and the proposed future
development plans so as to inform the scale of the ESIA and ESMP studies.
41. The general mandate of the “Design” consultants is given below for information only.
The selected ESIA consultant is expected to discuss the general mandate with each “Design”
consultant to identify the appropriate level of work mandated for each of the four schemes
and to tailor the ESIA / ESMP studies to respond to the specific design briefs.
The general “Design” consultants’ mandate is as follows:
Assess the current status of the respective scheme by taking an inventory of the
irrigation and drainage infrastructures; farm access/inspection roads; water
distribution, control, and measuring structures; ponds and reservoirs, the entire
distribution and canal system; dams and intake systems including control
Page 11 of 21
tower/mechanisms, spillway(s) and channel management offices and their set up /
organization, warehousing, repair shops etc. and determine their adequacy or
inadequacy for the purpose of designing and introducing modern facilities and
instrumentation that allow management, control and accurate measurement of water
flowing into the various sections of the scheme for the purposes of billing and
collection of water user fees for sustainable management of the schemes.
Review existing socio-economic, agricultural development plan, assessment of soil
condition, cropping plan, scheme management practices, level of participation of
water users in the maintenance and operation of the schemes. Issues on land
acquisition and resettlement grievance redress mechanisms, the involvement of
vulnerable groups, livestock and grazing and potential conflicts with crop farmers.
Compile and analyse up to date meteorological and hydraulic data for the purpose of
determining the appropriate cropping pattern/calendar, advising the types and areas to
be cropped based on water outflow from the various dams / irrigation outlet discharge
for sustainable operation of the schemes.
Prepare designs for the rehabilitation / modernization of the irrigation and drainage
infrastructures including topographic maps, construction drawings, cost estimates,
bidding documents, etc. Identify and include environmental and social issues
identified in the ESIA / ESMP reports in the design and bid documents.

Detailed Scope
43. In developing impact assessment and prevention and mitigation measures for the four
schemes, the ESIA consultant should ensure that the proposed designs incorporate sound land
management plans, takes into consideration local soil and crop varieties, account for water
availability and management (considering climate variability and potential future changes),
follow environmentally sound construction practices, consider secondary / induced and
cumulative impacts and incorporate local community knowledge.
44. The ESIA should thoroughly review the current status of the use, storage, handling,
application and disposal of pesticide in the four schemes and where appropriate recommend
“safer pesticide use” practices;
45. To avoid the current state of the systems degradation, the ESIA / ESMP should include an
evaluation of the proposed long-term maintenance provision for canals, irrigation structures,
roads, drainage ditches, monitoring, etc. for all schemes to ensure environmental and social
sustainability of the project. An adequate environmental and social monitoring should be
designed enabling response to new and developing issues of concern in the irrigation sites
during implementation and hence ensuring compliance with environmental and social
monitoring of both Bank standards and national policies. A monitoring schedule should also
be proposed
46. The specific tasks for the selected ESIA consulting firm will include but not be limited to
the following:
1. Undertake and submit acceptable scoping reports on the four schemes to the GCAP
and EPA which should pave way for the ESIA studies;
2. Undertake ESIA studies resulting in ESIA statements acceptable to GCAP, EPA, and
the World Bank;
3. The ESIA studies will include but not limited to:
Conducting baseline studies on the irrigation schemes inclusive of the irrigable
areas, as is or to be expanded (e.g. in the case of KLBIP). Baseline
information may include soil topography, geology, chemical and biological
composition of soils, type of vegetation, flora and fauna of the existing
vegetation, micro-climatic conditions including meteorology (including
potential for climate change), hydrology and air quality, surface and ground
water quality, as well as socio-economic and cultural characteristics of the
affected communities;
Assessment of potential environmental and social impacts that may emanate
from the rehabilitation and modernization work on the four (4) irrigation
schemes including potential for flooding, soil erosion, water pollution,
destruction of habitats of flora and fauna, changes in biodiversity, spread of
diseases, altered downstream water use, changes in microclimate, potential
conflicts/disputes over lands, disruption of the livelihoods of Project Affected
People (PAPs), population influx and impacts of increased contact with new
Page 14 of 21
comers and outsiders as a result of project realization, reduction or impacts on
grazing lands for livestock, loss of lands and the need for
resettlement/compensation, relocation of culturally sensitive areas such
shrines, public and family cemeteries etc.;
Assessment of potential impacts of farming activities in the irrigable areas on
the physical and biological environment including protected areas and
sensitive habitats, forests, rivers and streams;
Assessment of the procurement, transportation, use, handling, storage and
disposal of agrochemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc.) their use on
crops, and their impacts on biota, flora, fauna, soil, groundwater, and humans
especially the farmers/workers and neighboring communities;
Assessment of potential loss of arable land, vegetation, grazing lands,
economic trees and natural resources on livelihoods;
Assessment of potential impacts on surface and underground water quality and
quantity as a result of the farm activities;
Assessment of dam safety where dams are used as part of the irrigation / water
supply system;
Assessment of potential impacts of water withdrawal on the Volta River and
the Lake as per OP/BP 7.50 on International Waterways;
Assessment of potential Project Affected People (PAPs) within the schemes’
catchment area and recommend preparation of RAPs/ARAPs in accordance
with the Bank’s OP/BP 4.12 by an independent consultant;
Assess other potential environmental and social risks likely to emanate from
the proposed rehabilitation and modernization of the irrigation schemes and
recommend practical measures to eliminate, reduce or mitigate them;
Carry out adequate and culturally appropriate stakeholder consultations and
document them as an input in the ESIA; provide stakeholders with the
opportunity to identify any issues and concerns associated with the
rehabilitation and modernization of the schemes;
Identify areas of likely environmental and social issues that may require
further investigation or monitoring;
Assess potential impact of proposed interventions on vulnerable groups such
as ethnic minorities, women, the poor and youth;
Identify and analyze alternatives with respect to project designs and
recommend modifications from the environmental, social and economic
perspectives;
Assess current internal capacity of scheme management entities (personnel,
logistics, resources etc.) to implement environmental and social safeguards
and identify areas that require further capacity building or improvement;
Provide practical, costed, and monitorable measures to mitigate the
Page 15 of 21
identified adverse impacts and enhance the positive impacts in an
environmental and social management plan including monitoring plan and
institutional/implementation arrangements and measures for capacity building
(if needed) as well as grievance redress mechanism; it should be noted that
the emphasis of the assignment is on the design of effective environmental
and social management and monitoring plan rather than extensive assessment
of potential risks.
The ESMP should critically address but not be limited to the following areas:
(a) soundness of designs (b) water contamination (c) flood controls (d)
agrochemical usage including their procurement, handling, storage, usage,
personal protective equipment (PPE), record keeping practices, disposal of
agrochemical containers, etc. (e) pond and canal maintenance including
prevention of siltation, breeding grounds for diseases borne vectors (f)
conservation/preservation of economic trees and biodiversity (g) land
degradation/erosion (h) general occupational health and safety issues, (i)
livelihood restoration (j) needs of vulnerable people including women, the
youth, the aged and those with chronic illness (k) mechanism for grievance
redress (l) needs of people who have lost their right to land (m) fairness in the
distribution of the benefits of the scheme (n) population influx and impacts on
increased contact with new comers and outsiders as a result of project
realization (o) provision of grazing lands for livestock (p) relocation of
culturally sensitive artifacts e.g. shrines, public and family cemeteries, etc.
